So many precious memories, but most of all, I miss our long talks. Just hearing her laugh was so contagious. We would spend hours on the phone and she would thank me for being her therapist then we would laugh so hard! She was such fun to be around and I will miss her. My prayers are with you Gary, Debbie and family!

All my love,Your cousin,Linda Joyce

Too many to share here, but I am blessed with a lifetime of precious memories of my beautiful Aunt Virginia. And when Joe came into our family, she quickly became his favorite new relative. Gary and Debbie, we are praying that you find peace and comfort at this difficult time. Love Sara and Joe
